Remind us, Is a .270 a necked down 30-06, or an original design round or what?

Essentially, a failed military round from the mid 1920s I believe, but successful commercially.

Ok, now I remember. Army wanted to make M-1 in .270, but there was so much '06 in stock, they chambered it for the older round.
